The worse thing to happen to GH? Really?
Using git on the command line can be hard to learn and unintuitive for people - the desktop client makes things easier and that's a good thing (kind of like how the GUI made computers accessible to more people and ended up benefiting everyone in software...)
- tracker1 4y agoTBH, I felt the same way for a while... but I found that I really only need to actually remember a handful of things.. git add, git commit, git pull --rebase, and the git rebase -i HEAD~N Other than those, when I need something I don't typically use, I have google. And most of those instances where it's not one of the commands above, the UI is usually pretty bad anyway. I do like the preiew/diff in VS Code a lot though on the git tab. I do wish there was a way to post-operate on the most recent commit (uncommit) via the gui though. I tend to work in a branch, regularly squashing and rebasing against upstream branch... then would prefer to be able to (via gui) uncommit the most recent commit, just so I can preview/edit a final pass at once. That is about the only workflow that I sometimes want/need that isn't really in the box, or otherwise more of a pain in the UI anyway.
